Is this our yard? The adventures and pictures of the last 3 years.


Now! We planted grass two weeks ago and are soo excited about how it looks. It needs to fill in a little bit more, but looks sooo much better than before!!! We got the best compliment the other day, a friend of mine came to the house and hadn't been over for a while, she drove right by, not recognizing the house. Next: Flowers!

Before we moved in. Can you even see the house?
One of the first things we did when we moved in was pull out those bushes.
This is before we cut the tree down last summer.




Last summer we had the tree cut down. Ray helped him to keep cost down. It just happened to be the hottest day of the year... it was 100 degrees that day! It took 2 days to cut down. We were left while a yard full of debree. Keagan thought it would be fun to walk in the yard across the logs..... next thing we knew there was blood everywhere and we were at Group Health getting him stitches....





This is 2 weeks later after stitches and yard clean up he came back to finish cutting the tree down.



Timber!!!





One year later..... getting the stump out.


They thought they could pull it out...






Rototilling it, over and over.

Even Aurora helped!


Pulling the rock over to the side. Look at my other entry of the front yard for more pics of the path.
